I’ve been blogging at Shiny’s Takeout for slightly under two weeks now. This comes on the heels of my old (and still existing) blog, Shiny @ Mindsay, which I’ve had for the past few years. But this is a new community. New readership (albeit not nearly as many folks reading this one quite yet). I guess I may not be new to blogging, but I’m new to this specific venue. And to CSS, but that’s a different post entirely.
Also with a new blog is “Hello Haha Narf,” who posts at Midnight Cliff. She’s not new to this community, as she’s been replying to her friends’ blogs for quite a while now. But she finally got a place of her own, and it’s one of my top reads. Perhaps I like it because I feel that, while I enjoy those well-established blogs quite a lot, I’m following this one from the start.
Since we’re both “new” (although we’re really not), neither of us has posted that obligatory “50 Things About Me” list yet. So we made a deal: I would peruse her blog and she mine. We’ll be writing each other’s “50 Things” lists and posting them. Keep in mind that we don’t have any prior history, and we know only a very limited amount about each other just from what we’ve written. We are, in essence, perfect strangers. Which means our “50 Things” lists will likely have a few inaccuracies in them. And writing them is fun! Does she know about my first car? My first stint touring as part of Vanilla Ice’s entourage? Does she know where that secret birthmark is? The mystery sure is intense!
(Well, at least for the two of us. I’m expecting nothing less than the two of us dropping everything and moving to a really small apartment in Chicago. And doing the Mypos dance of joy.)
So — be on the lookout for our respective “50 Things” lists — coming soon.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention one other blogger with whom I’ve made a connection — her name is, well, Shiny. The major difference is that she has (as far as I know) a female reproductive system, and I, quite regularly, am referred to as part of that reproductive system. (Not hers specifically. That would be rather “Being John Malkovich-ish.” It feels like I have, you know, mishpocha out there in the ‘osphere. Welcome Shiny!

I love all things shiny. Especially my giraffe purse which is new ergo shiny. As usual, I digress. I cannot wait to see the 50 things! Should be good for a laugh (or a choke if I’m eating.) Thanks for touting the other Shiny. She’s so excited to be part of the Blogosphere.
Winter: … and thanks for introducing me to her! Glad to have another Shiny aboard…
[…] She did it! And I’m pleasantly shocked and surprised that she was so accurate about so many of them. Take a look at her blog to see what I wrote about her. If anything, I would say that her list about me is far more precise than the one I wrote about her. Kudos to you, Ms. Narf… […]
